Description

Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Japanese whisky – not whiskey, mind – has exploded in popularity over the past few years, with the two main distilleries, Nikka and Suntory, earning themselves global fans for their delicious drams. The distilleries are popular for good reason: they’re home to some of the best Japanese whisky you’ll find around today. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Eigashima Shuzo (known as White Oak Distillery in Japan) is one of Japan's oldest family-run distilleries with centuries of beverage making experience. Situated just a stone throw's away from Osaka Bay in the fishing village of Akashi, the distillery enjoysawarm, coastal climate all year round, seeing the highest average temperatures and lowest annual rainfall out of all the Japanese distilleries. The operation is now run byitsninth generation, recently hiring their 7th full-time employee. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof.

Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise. No… just no. This White Oak Akashi Blended Whisky is not a good whisky. It’s spirit driven and carries a vodka-like essence to it with just a hint of whisky flavoring. I don’t get any of the peat that’s supposed to be in it. Nor do I get any of the sherry sweetness that should be showing up from the sherry finishing. Naysayers criticise the Akashi for being one-dimensional, but fans delight in its unashamedly fruity, chocolatey and spicy profile. There are bags of molasses in here, lending a Christmas cake aroma, followed up with lots of dried fruit and almonds on the palate. The ageing in oak casks means there is an undercurrent of woodiness, too.If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You can sip it neat, of course; the best whiskies need little else than a tumbler. But if you want to dial down some of the hotter, boozier notes in a lively whisky, add a little ice or water to open it up and mellow it out. Or try a Highball. This simple serve combines three to four parts soda to one part whisky. It's best consumed alongside your favourite Japanese food. How we test Japanese whisky

Amber Beverage UK (ABUK) markets the whiskies on behalf of European distributor, Whiskies du Monde. Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. The Suntory Toki is universally popular, with its relatively low price tag making it a great choice for those looking to start their journey into Japanese whisky. A blend of some of Suntory’s most lauded singles – the Chita grain, Hakushu malt and two hard-hitting Yamazaki malts – makes this is a crowd-pleasing, accessible whisky, which shows off many of the characteristics whisky from Japan is known for.If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Meanwhile, Akashi Blended Sherry Cask (50% ABV) will be available in the UK for the first time through ABUK. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. That’s entirely up to you. But may we make some suggestions? There are a few drinking rituals surrounding Japanese whisky that it’s only right to give ceremony to.

The palate mimics the nose and comes across as young and spirity. There’s a weak malty character that arises while sipping on it, but it doesn’t manifest in a way that balances it out or adds any richness. Minor hints of caramel hide beneath the large grain and alcohol notes.

This is whisky blended in the scotch tradition, with Japanese precision, the malt is lightly peated, and vatting is mostly ex-bourbon, balanced by White Oak’s unique variety of barrels. Akashi is certainly one of the big names in Japanese whisky. However, production volumes are small. Their whiskies were long made for the domestic market with its lax definition of “whisky”. The Togouchi brand includes four expressions that are new to the UK: Togouchi Beer Cask (40% ABV), Togouchi Sake Cask (40% ABV), Togouchi Pure Malt (40% ABV) and Togouchi Single Malt (43% ABV). Our panel of 10 WSET-qualified experts and whisky drinkers tried 11 Japanese whiskies neat, before adding some water to dilute and soften the alcohol and bring out its core flavours.
